    hmmm personally I probably wouldn't. I would invest in a good carrier for bubs if DD still wants to sit. OR get one of those skate board things.

    My youngest will be 2 & half when bub is born & I need a new pram anyway but not bothering with a double.

    If your DD is going to be over 2 when bubs is born I probably wouldn't. Can you put a toddler seat on your bertini? Otherwise I think the skateboard would do fine also

    This really depends, it is your choice that only you can make in regard to how much will you use it? will it be of a benefit?? perhaps could you buy a second hand one...like ebay. I have a double pram, second hand and in my case YES i have needed it. Not heaps to get a new one but enough to need one.

    DS1 was almost 3 when next bubs was born & is a big boy so was well over the weight limit for a double stroller. What do you need the pram for? me I walk often for exercise so the double pram is great for that. Can't do long distance walking with a skateboard thing attached. My DS1 does not always listen so when heading to something like for example a school fete (recently did this) we used it so we can keep an eye on all kids. I also walk DS1 to daycare. We travel lots and DH is away for work lots so I use it when out and about with both kids and don't want one running away. Though DS1 is now 3.5yrs so will prob start using it less and it does not stay in the car - that's why second hand was perfect for us.

    DD was 2 and 10months when DS arrived and I never looked at a double. She still sat in the pram/stroller for months after he arrived, but I carried him everywhere and it was far easier for me to do that and have 2 hands free for my bolter than worry about a baby screaming for me while I chased her.
